How long does it take for a Kidney Stone to move from the kidney to the bladder?
I have a kidney stone, it was in my kidney and it somewhere between my kidney and my bladder. The right side of my back has been sore for 2 week so far. At times I have extreme stabbing pain (pain level 9 to 10) and other times I have just constant pain (pain level 7 to 8). But the pain is always there. Last time I experienced this it took about a month total for it to be out of my body? How long does it normally take? Let me know.
Hi Cathy,
Thanks for your question. I passed it along to one of our doctors to see if he could offer any guidance on this. We'll let you know as soon as we get a reponse.

On average, kidney stones pass between 1-3 weeks after symptoms begin, but more than half pass within 4 weeks. It's important to drink plenty of fluids and take the pain medication recommended by your doctor.
